Texans tag Tate
[picappgallerysingle id="7454505"]
Media outlets are reporting that the Houston Texans have reached agreement with Auburn RB Ben Tate. Tate was the third fastest running back at the NFL combine this spring.
Tate is a great fit for the Texans. Last season, Houston used a trio of backs in the back field due to turnovers and lack of production by Steve Slaton, which eventually was linked to a neck injury. Ryan Moats carried the rock for a while before being replaced by Arian Foster. Moats has been released by the Texans and is now in Minnesota with the Vikings.
Tate has a good chance of becoming the Texans first team back as he is perfectly matched for the zone blocking scheme. Slaton remains a question mark heading into 2010 as he is still recovering off season neck surgery.
